Tampering with the Jury.
NEW YORK, June 2.-The Erenrng
Post says It was learned late this af-
ternoon on trustworthy authority that
four or five desper ate and determined
attempts have been made to corrupt
the jury in the Sharp case. The prose
cution has been engaged in trying to
trace the efforts directly to the defend
ant, but have not so far suceededin do
ing so. They have however traced
these efforts sufficiently close to the
friends Of the defendant as TO leave
no doubt as to the intention of the per
sons making the attempts. District
Attorney MARITIME declined TO say any
thing on the subject, but would not
deny that such attempts had been made.
There is no doubt, however, as to the
truth of the reports, as the information
on the subject was obtained from a
person in position to speak with au-
thority on the matter, and whose We
,ocity Cannot be questioned. Indeed
he would have no object in stating
aught but the truth, He does not
wish, however, to be quoted. 1t is said
on the same authority, that the per
emptory challenging by the people OF
Mr.. McLewee was in consequence of
certain information they had received
in connection with the attempts at em
bracery.
